Abstract:La producción de miel en Colombia es una actividad secundaria destinada principalmente al abastecimiento regional. A nivel nacional, el departamento del Cauca ocupa el séptimo lugar en producción de miel. La miel como alimento debe satisfacer las preferencias del consumidor y los criterios de calidad exigidos por la legislación para garantizar sus propiedades nutricionales y funcionales. Estas características se asocian a factores tales como origen botánico y geográfico, prácticas apícolas, entre otros. El ori… Show more
“…Color is the first characteristic evaluated by consumers of the honey quality. This is connected with their preference and acceptance of different honey types (Dominguez and Centurion, 2015;Ortega-Bonilla et al, 2021). The color of the sunflower honey in this study is light, because the values on the Pfund scale varied between 4and 21 mm Pfund.…”
Honeybee products are highly valued food products in the nutrition and medicine.This work aims to determine physicochemical parameters of polyfloral and sunflower honey, which are produced in Bulgaria. Twelve sunflower and 17 polyfloral honey samples were used in this study. The parameters color, water content, electrical conductivity, specific optical rotation, pH, proline, invertase, diastase, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were analyzed. Bulgarian sunflower and polyfloral honeys were characterized by main physicochemical parameters and compared to products from other countries. The color correlates with the electrical conductivity and diastase correlates with invertase in the sunflower honey. The results of the present study indicated that Bulgarian sunflower and polyfloral honey are known for its good quality since the criteria that were closely correlated with the honey’s quality were measured.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
